Just went the 255/275 route with MPS4S. Initial thoughts are that the extra bit of cushioning is definitely noticeable on the especially bad roads in my area this year. The fitment looks great as well. So far no regrets.

Me too; 255/35/ZR19 and 275/35/ZR19. Very pleased, without changing the nature of the beast.

I also did the switch to the size up a few weeks ago. MPS4S: 255/35/19 and 275/35/19, stock wheels, stock suspension. Zero issues.

So much better than the MPSS. Only issue is that they're so grippy, it's not possible to break the rear end loose at low speeds. boo.

Trust me, totally worth it. Get a Wagner intercooler and the BM3 tune and you are good to go.

Okay thanks for the reply. I like the idea of going that wide on the rears.

What's the drop on your Dinans? It doesn't look like the height has been reduced too much judging on the gap. 295s at the rear...interesting

Anyone running the 255 F and 275 R with springs/coils? Wondering how much you can get away with before rubbing
